Four For Friday
Well today it's back to the accountant's office.
1. This
married B list actor on one of those initial shows has a side business.
Nothing unusual in that by itself. However this business only has one
employee. A woman who is not his wife. In addition, the "office space"
is actually a condo. Well if you are going to have an affair, I guess
you might as well try and deduct it from your income.
2. This
former A list television actor from the 90's has had lots of problems in
the past and has been the guess on this blog lots and lots of times.
Turns out he's pretty generous. He gave $350,000 to his church last
year, and another $100,000 to other charities.
3. This divorced B
list actress but A list celeb has her house mortgaged to the hilt. She
doesn't have much money coming in from the ex, and not getting much high
paying work. There is no more equity in the house and no more money to
borrow anywhere. Look for her to be everywhere in the next few months
and to do anything to get some money. It's either that or bankruptcy.
4. This A list movie actor who brings in over $10M a film gave exactly $500 to charity in 2006. Happy Easter Mr. Generous.

Lainey: Unpaid Bills
Unpaid Bills
July 31, 2008
You’d think they’d be liquid, you know? Flush from the funds of so many different projects, across so many different mediums, by so many different sources.
But that’s the thing with celebrities. They’re richer than we are, to be sure, but some of them really aren’t THAT rich, especially when you factor in the lifestyle. Being not that rich isn’t a problem. Being not that rich and not paying your bills is a big problem. Being not that rich, not paying your bills, but still spending your balls off is a huge problem.
So they have projects around the house. Some construction here, some wiring there, installations, renovations...it never stops. It never stops because they keep having to hire new people. Inevitably the invoice will arrive, they won’t be able to pay it, so they end up calling someone else to finish the job. They don’t pay those people either.
How f&cking ghetto, non???
Like people who keep taking out credit card after credit card? Only these assholes are wealthy! They have jobs! They earn celebrity salaries!
Which means they’re too stupid to manage their finances and too cheap to figure out their finances before satisfying their non-urgent, vanity-motivated projects at the expense, literally, of labourers and small business owners who trusted the wrong millionaires.
Slowly but surely, they’ve pretty much exhausted the entire contracting community in town, verging on blacklist, and are now several hundred thousand dollars in the hole to several companies in Hollywood. Word is they’re facing legal action, and even a lien on their property...
Probably the reason behind the new round of exploitation. They need the cash.
But do we still care?
A few years ago, before everyone and their eyebrow stylist had a reality show, it was a novel concept. Now? Now they’re totally almost irrelevant – the proof in that lies in a deal one of them tried to strike with the paps recently.
She needed cash so badly, she arranged for some “candids” in exchange for a few quid. Unfortunately her images weren’t selling and the photographers cut her off.
Shame!
Word is, even Phoebe Price out-earns her...
In this economy, how will they ever recover?
Lainey has hinted that this is the Osbournes.
